14-year-old Jayne's diaries and letters to her grandmother - an intriguing and effective device - and to her best friend Emily reveal the usual quota of teenage problems: boyfriends, relationships with girlfriends and examination pressures. Although the narrative adopts an unusually formal tone on occasion, the dilemmas have authenticity. The book is a mixture of novel and problem page and likely to absorb, entertain and reassure female readers.
